Music Production Community Contest! Celebrating Love Yum Audio Style
Love is, by far, the most common theme in music throughout history. After all, love is something all of us can relate to, in one way or another. And love doesn't only apply to people—we love our pets, we love certain activities or even things. Love is a vast topic with a myriad of twists and variations so what better theme to express in music than something so universal?
Since February is the month of love, well, we decided to celebrate the occasion by launching our very first Yum Audio Community Contest, with over $1,200 worth of prizes!
A Contest on the Theme of Love... With a Twist
While Valentine's Day is great for those who are happily in a relationship, it can positively suck when you're single. And what better way to let some of that pain, sadness, or frustration go out than through music?
That's why we decided add a twist to the general theme of love. To participate, you have the choice between two angles.
Choose between the love or "anti" love category:
- Love: create a song or instrumental track around the theme of being in love, or loving something:
- A love song
- An instrumental track expressing the feeling of love
- A track or song as a tribute to something, or someone, you love
- "Anti" Love: create a song or instrumental track around the theme of annoyance or frustration for something:
- A song about something that annoys you for some reason
- A track expressing frustration around an event or moment
- Think outside of the box!
Prizes
- Grand winner (both categories combined) wins a complete bundle of all our plugins (LoFi Playtime, LoFi Tapestop, LoFi Flux Machine, LoFi Pitch Dropout, Spread, Spread Light and Flux Light). This bundle has a total value of $545.
- Runner up entries in each category will each receive 3 Yum Audio plugins of their choice. This has an average value of $225 (depending on the plugins chosen by each winner).
- 2nd runner up entries in each category will each receive one Yum Audio plugin of their choice (value of $45, $75, or $99 depending on the plugin choosen)
